15 Things Only LU Students Will Understand

Big and diverse as the Lebanese University is, the experience that of being an LU student brings them together. Here are 15 things only LU students will understand:

1.You’re never quite sure why the university is on strike.

Guys, le m2aderbin hal mara, 7ada byaaref?

2. The LU site that is always down.

Fata7 ma3ak sisol?

3. The registration period that has confused us all.

– Kheles l tesjil?
– Laa madaduwa la ekher February

4. Mu3ajanet Jaafar.

There’s always a mu3ajanet Jaafar, and they’re always the tastiest.

5. The second round of exams is always mid-summer, in scorching heat.

And on the off chance you get an air conditioner in your classroom, consider yourself god’s favorite.

6. Are we getting a uni ID this year?

The answer is probably no.

7. You will never get to exercise your voting rights in university elections.

… because they were banned almost 10 years ago.

8. The Cafeteria

The Coco Cola branding, Abou Abed’s manouche,and Nescafe in winter is what gets you through your classes.

9. Is attendance mandatory?

No? Tab yala bye.

10. The promised summer that we will never get.

Ayya safra bro? 3endi emtihanet awal term w teni term men awal w teni sene b July.

11. Waiting desperately to find out what new decision will screw us over.

They always do, and they’re getting more creative by the second.

12. You’ll always have that one instructor who will fail you during the first round of exams.

Binajhak b teni dawra matkhaf.

13. Shitting on the university with any LU student you meet.

We’re just tired, that’s all.

14. That universal eyeroll we do when private university students complain about how “unfair” their administration can be.

Ah bas hek? Cry me a river, hbb.

15. Kiss sleep goodbye

You won’t remember the last time you slept 8 hours in a row.
